    Video That Books Patients

    Patients choose their chiropractor long before they ever pick up the phone—and the choice is made while scrolling. We lay out a simple, repeatable video system that helps you show up with clarity, warmth, and authority so people feel safe booking with you when it counts. First, we pinpoint why short-form video beats photos and long posts for building trust fast. You’ll learn how to use crystal-clear hooks that mirror real Google searches—like morning back pain, tingling fingers, and kinks after sleep—so your clips grab attention in seconds. Then we share the four video types that reliably drive appointments: pain-problem videos that offer quick actions and a clear assessment path, authority myth-busters in plain language, trust-and-story clips that humanize your care, and behind-the-scenes tours that erase fear of the unknown. Next, we map your weekly cadence: three to five videos, 30–60 seconds each, one focused topic per clip. We show how to prioritize Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, and YouTube Shorts without creating extra work—post the same video everywhere. You’ll also get the narrative structure for patient stories that comply with local rules, plus guidance on avoiding the most common pitfalls: over-scripting, rambling, only talking services, waiting for perfect gear, and posting without intent. Expect practical examples you can copy today and a simple challenge to get your first three videos recorded on your phone in one take. The goal isn’t viral; it’s visible, trustworthy, and useful. When someone’s pain flares months from now, your face, voice, and clear plan will be top of mind—and that’s how browsers become bookers. If this playbook helps, subscribe, share with a colleague, and leave a quick review telling us which video you’ll film first.

    Your $29 Exam Is Training Patients To Ghost You

    Price tags don’t build trust. We open the hood on why discount-first marketing is collapsing for chiropractors and show a smarter path: education, authority, and clear positioning that draws in patients who are ready to commit. Instead of chasing volume with “new patient specials,” we map a funnel that teaches first, answers the three demands every buyer brings, and turns curiosity into confidence before the first visit. You’ll hear how to craft short, specific videos that meet people where they hurt—low back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica—while setting expectations about exams, timelines, and outcomes. We talk through the scripts that help patients feel seen, the clinical proof that supports your recommendations, and the simple questions that link relief to life goals so value rises above price. If you’ve felt the grind of no-shows and low conversions from cheap leads, this is your playbook for better-fit appointments and steadier revenue. We also dig into niche positioning: why “we help everyone with a spine” dilutes your message, and how a focused promise—moms with chronic headaches, desk workers with posture pain, athletes chasing recovery—raises case value and reduces burnout. From transparent care plans to proactive follow-up calls when someone drops off, we outline a trust-based operating system that outperforms coupons and withstands ad cost spikes.

    Picture Proof: Stand Out Online Now

    Patients don’t buy services—they buy proof. That’s why we sat down with director-photographer Stewart Cohen to dig into how chiropractors can use photos and video to earn trust, differentiate locally, and turn one thoughtful shoot into months of strategic content. We explore why websites won’t vanish in an AI world, how discovery will feel more conversational, and why your site still needs case studies, testimonials, and a visual tour that shows you’re the real deal. Stewart shares a practical framework for building a brand that sticks: start with a sharp niche, define the core idea you want remembered, and craft visual stories that revolve around it. We talk polished versus authentic, and land on the blend that works—clean lighting, honest retouching, and on-location details that signal this was truly captured, not generated. If you’ve ever wondered why your content feels scattered, you’ll get a blueprint for consistency: one interview, multi-camera coverage, targeted B-roll, and a deliverables plan that nets vertical, square, and horizontal cuts for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and your site. We also map testimonial storytelling that converts—guiding patients through before, struggle, turning point, and outcome—then pairing it with quick educational clips that teach wellness without killing demand. Teaching builds authority; when pain strikes, people call the teacher they trust. To keep your brand cohesive, we close with a simple mood-board process using Pinterest to lock in color, tone, framing, and retouching rules so every vendor creates in your voice. If you’re ready to stop blending in and start showing proof, this conversation will help you plan smarter, shoot less often, and publish more consistently—without losing the human touch that makes patients choose you.

    AI Ads For Chiropractors, Demystified

    The content treadmill is real: attention is shorter, ad costs are creeping up, and “post five times a day” isn’t a plan you can sustain while running a clinic. We brought in Corey from Fusion Media AI to show how chiropractors can turn a quick photo set and clear creative direction into studio-quality, on-brand videos—without spending weekends under lights or burning out your team. The play is simple and powerful: human-led strategy on both ends, with AI handling the heavy lifting in between. We break down how lifelike avatars let you “be in the room” on every platform while you focus on patient care. Starting from a handful of high-quality images, we map your look, voice, tone, and brand rules into a production workflow that generates dozens of targeted videos. Then we script symptom-specific ads—sciatica, numbness in the index finger, plantar heel pain—that match how real patients search and decide. Each variation gets a fresh hook, precise anatomy visuals, and a clean CTA, so you can rotate creatives before frequency spikes and costs climb. This approach isn’t about replacing people; it’s about unlocking volume, speed, and consistency. We talk through diffusion models in plain English, show how to convert blogs and transcripts into bite-sized educational clips, and explain why rapid iteration beats the old “one hero video” mindset. The payoff is practical: lower CPV, stronger conversion, and a steadier stream of qualified bookings inside your five to ten mile radius. If you’ve felt the squeeze of content demands and ad fatigue, this is the blueprint for staying visible, helpful, and booked—at a cost that actually makes sense. If this conversation helps, follow the show, share it with a colleague, and leave a quick review. Your feedback helps more local practices find strategies that work.

    Paper Wins: Handwrytten Notes That Retain Patients

    Your patients are overwhelmed by pings, promos, and pop-ups. A single handwritten note still slices through the noise, gets opened, gets read, and often gets displayed—becoming the quietest, most persuasive billboard in the room. We sit down with David Wax, founder of Handwrytten, to unpack why pen-on-paper wins attention and how clinics can scale the habit without losing the human touch. We trace David’s path from building a mass texting company to designing robots that hold real pens and write 30,000 cards a day. Then we get tactical for healthcare: when to send notes (new patient welcomes, anniversaries of care, birthdays, milestones, condolences), what to say (keep it under 500 characters and specific), and how to turn those moments into retention, reviews, and referrals. You’ll hear why notes triple open rates versus printed letters, how they bypass gatekeepers, and the surprising power of display—cards standing on pianos, desks, and shelves that keep your name top of mind. If time is your constraint, we cover the systems side: one-off cards for sensitive events, business plans for volume, CRM and Zapier triggers, and adding QR codes that track scans by recipient. Choose from 30+ handwriting styles, replicate your signature, and design folded cards that look great and stand up. The goal is simple: replace forgettable “expected service” with memorable, unexpected care that feels personal and scales reliably. Ready to build loyalty instead of just chasing clicks? Press play, steal the playbook, and start with one thoughtful note today. If this conversation sparked an idea, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a colleague who could use a retention win.

    Why Google Reviews Don’t Convert And How To Fix It

    Five stars don’t fix a broken funnel. We dig into why glowing Google reviews often fail to convert and show how to turn social proof into scheduled care with a practical, patient-first system. Instead of chasing vanity metrics, we focus on the three pillars that actually move the needle: conversion, action, and urgency. We start by tightening local visibility using Google Business Profile fundamentals—smart category selection, weekly posts to drive activity, and service keywords that reinforce relevance. Then we rebuild the content of your reviews themselves. Using a simple three-question prompt, patients write about the problem they had, what changed after care, and who they’d recommend you to. That language maps to real searches like “sciatica relief” and “migraine chiropractor,” and it gives AI summarizers richer context to surface your clinic for the right cases. Momentum matters once someone clicks. We route searchers to a dedicated new patient page and condition-specific landing pages with clear, above-the-fold calls to action and seamless online booking. Warm confirmations and short nurture messages reduce drop-off, while retargeting and lead capture keep you top of mind for prospects who need a little time. We also talk AEO—AI Engine Optimization—by rewriting pages in plain, problem-centric language that explains protocols and outcomes so both people and AI understand what you solve and how. If you’re ready to stop hoping reviews will magically fill your schedule and start using them as high-converting assets across your website, ads, email, and SMS, this conversation lays out the exact steps. Subscribe, share this with a colleague who needs a better funnel, and leave a review telling us the one change you’ll make this week.

    From Overwhelm To Workflow: Practical AI For Chiropractors

    Most clinics don’t lose patients because of care quality—they lose them in the gap between curiosity and the first booked visit. We invited Jenna Nelson of Her AI Agency to help us close that gap with a practical plan for AI-powered intake that feels personal, stays on brand, and wins trust before day one. Jenna charts a clear path out of AI overwhelm by starting small: identify one painful, manual task and solve it end-to-end. We dig into why lead intake is the highest-leverage place to begin, how a trained conversational bot can ask smart follow-ups, screen for red flags, and route prospects to the right service—all in your tone. You’ll hear how guardrails protect your reputation, from refusing medical advice to escalating emergencies and shielding proprietary info. We also cover the reality of voice AI today: where it shines for transactional tasks, where it still feels robotic, and why chat and SMS remain the most reliable first touch for modern patients. From there, we walk through Jenna’s Align → Automate → Appear framework. Align means codifying brand voice, FAQs, ethics, and triage rules before any automation. Automate turns that playbook into reminders, directions, reschedules, and on-brand replies that save hours every week. Appear focuses on visibility—using AI to scale content production across social posts, video, and ads so you meet the 10–12 touchpoints buyers now expect. To keep things lean, Jenna lays out a simple three-part stack: one generative AI model you commit to and retrain with feedback, one automation platform to centralize messaging and workflows, and one content tool that fits your medium. If you’ve wondered how to adopt AI without losing the human touch, this conversation gives you the blueprint: start with intake, set firm guardrails, train the bot on your voice, and let humans handle the moments that matter most. Subscribe, share this with a colleague who’s stuck in voicemail purgatory, and leave a review telling us the one workflow you’ll automate first.

    Cracking Meta’s AI: A Chiropractor’s Playbook For Better Leads

    Your Facebook and Instagram leads didn’t dry up by accident—Meta rewired the system. We unpack what actually changed inside the algorithm and give chiropractors a battle-tested plan to lower cost per lead, filter bots, and get real patients back in the pipeline. No fluff, just the steps that move the needle. We start by mapping the shift from detailed interests to broad AI targeting and why the learning phase now takes seven to fourteen days. That change punishes low daily budgets and constant tinkering, so we outline a budget ramp that feeds the algorithm enough signal to learn fast without wasting spend. Then we dig into trust: verified business status, verified domains, and consistent posting all increase delivery because Meta now cares about whether your clinic looks legitimate and active, not just whether your copy is clever. From there, we walk through the quality stack that restores performance. High-intent lead forms with multi-step questions stop bots at the door, while a conversion API sends back real conversion stages from your CRM—dead, contacted, booked, showed—so the system learns who becomes a patient. We also cover the creative mix that works now: a short doctor-on-camera explainer, a testimonial mashup, and a clear static or graphic. Pair those with a benefit-first hook, a short story, a real value stack of what’s included on day one, fresh five-star proof, and a deadline that drives action. You’ll hear practical examples from local clinics that pushed CPLs from the $40s back to the low $20s by combining verification, CAPI, high‑intent forms, and three-plus creatives. If your ads feel slower, pricier, and less responsive, this playbook shows how to rebuild signal density and trust so the AI finds people who actually book. Subscribe if you want more field-tested strategies for running local service ads that convert, and share this episode with a chiropractor who’s ready to fix their lead flow.
